Reservoir headed for record low

Metro Atlanta's main water supply could soon set a record low. The Army Corps of Engineers says Lake Lanier could surpass last year's low in early December. The lake hit its previous record low on December 26, 2007, when it reached just under 1,051 feet. The epic drought gripping north Georgia has taken a toll on Lanier, a massive reservoir that supplies metro Atlanta with most of its water.
